Topic: Your Celebrity Lookalikes

[Riquende]

I appreciate that this sort of thread will be prone to the sort of irreverent windups that RAWK specialises in, but yesterday at work a new colleague asked if I'd seen "What We Do in the Shadows" because apparently I looked like one of the vampires.

Turns out she meant Matt Berry. Given he's got nearly a decade on me I'm not sure whether to be offended by that, but I think it's just how much I've let my hair grow over winter.

Previously I had a woman whom I'd met on an online dating site (never met in person) say my photos reminded her of Andy Garcia, and I've been compared in the past to Rowan Atkinson (more specifically, the kids at the school I worked at used "Mr Bean" as an insult but I'm going to take the positives from it).

So there you go. If you ever want to picture what that handsome idiot you're arguing with online looks like, try to imagine a Garcia/Bean hybrid with Matt Berry's general hairiness.

Anybody else with interesting doppelgängers they've been compared to?

[Draex]

I look like Alan from the hangover when I grow out my beard.

[Sudden Death Draft Loser]

When I was in my late teens apparently I looked like Steve Davies

Was even stopped one time in Chester by someone who thought I was him

Interesting.

I assume you mean Steve Davis the snooker player and not Steve Davies the ex Blackpool striker?

[Nobby Reserve]

When I was little, Steve Davies was a good mate of my dad's.

No, not that Steve Davies.


I look a little bit like my avatar (or did when I was younger and had full hair). Which is weird, because the avatar was bestowed upon me by the Mod team. And I've no fucking clue who it is.

[Elmo!]

I've been told I both look and sound like Andy Murray. In fact my much younger cousin when she was a kid did a double take when I arrived at their house once because she though he had just walked in. I don't see it at all.

I'm not sure sounding like Andy Murray is a compliment.

Yea

[Sudden Death Draft Loser]

Interesting.

 

[thejbs]

I have too many to list.

[Crosby Nick]

The most frequent I get is John Kay, that slightly tubby guy off BBC Breakfast. Even my mum thinks it. The fucker’s about ten years older than me.

In younger years I had one Aussie mate firmly telling me I look like Ricky Ponting (I strongly disagree).

Old work colleagues said I looked like Jean-Marc Bosman of ‘on a Bosman’ fame. Fuck knows how that stuck on their consciousness.

The connection between all three? Piggy little eyes.

Didn't someone once say you looked like Pochettino as well?! There's deffo a theme there

[Crosby Nick]

He’s a bit too well groomed and oily. But he is devastatingly handsome, I’ll give him that.

I’m sorry, did we ask for your opinion?! I’m think that may have been the 5th Benitle who said that. Trying to remember who he looked like now!

[redgriffin73]

Sorry

[Redley]

Nah thats Jon Kay

Pretty sure he meant this guy, John Kay

[Terry de Niro]

Enough about you, let's hear about John Kay.

[Elmo!]

Ah, now I see the likeness.

[Terry de Niro]

When I was younger I used to get Kevin Keegan and as I got older and my hair shorter I got and still get Mr De Niro himself.

[Crosby Nick]

Guilty.

[Qston]

I tell my Mrs that I am cross between clooney and gosling. She agrees to the extent that I have a nose and eyes. She's wrong of course.

You don't have a nose and eyes?

[Crosby Nick]

Sounds more like Mr Potato Head.

I was convinced that you were going to say Colin Robinson

[Party Phil]

 I used to get all sorts when I was younger, including Cesc Fabregas & Gareth Southgate

And which of those two did you prefer?

[Party Phil]

Cesc, although I do look good in a waistcoat

[Brian Blessed]

That’s just his posting style.

[zero zero]

In younger years I had one Aussie mate firmly telling me I look like Ricky Ponting (I strongly disagree).

I thought you looked like Ricky Ponting.

[Buck Pete]

Tell us more..

Having never seen John Kay I had to google his image and to be fair he does look a lot like Ricky Ponting.  So much so, I initially thought that pic you posted WAS Ponting.


They both have an uncanny likeness to Crosby Nick.  The lucky buggers.

[Crosby Nick]

At lesast I was honest. Who do you look like Buck Pete. I’m getting Steve Pemberton vibes.

[spen71]

Quite a few people have said I look like Michael Stipe.    I haven’t aged very well

[SP]

In the 1980s a girl at Thorpe Park said I looked like the boy from Weird Science. She was not explicit as to which one, but I am not ginger.

[the oxonian]

Random girl walked up to me in the pub many years ago and said i looked like Chris Moyles. Told her to get to fuck, I look nothing like him the fat gimp, was devastated!
Only consolation was i got to biff the girl a few times

[Qston]

Sounds more like Mr Potato Head.

That's pretty accurate to be fair.

I have been told in the past that I look like Dom Joly.

[duvva 💅]

The picture of Jon Kay looks a lot like Michael Owen would if he had a goatee

Got told I looked like Axl Rose once when I was a teenager, had the hair for it, although blond rather than ginger 🤘🏻

Thankfully I haven’t followed him into his fat Mick Hucknall period

[tubby]

Having crossed paths with Nick a few times I can confirm the John Kay shout.  Nick has a more Gerrard-esque hairline if I remember right though.

[Ziltoid]

In my late 20s/30s people said i looked like Frankie Dettori - had some complete random strangers asking if i was some relation.  A few people still ask if I have some Italian ancestry of which, unfortunately, i don't.  Picture so you can make your own minds up (bear in mind this was around 1997/98)

[Buck Pete]

At lesast I was honest. Who do you look like Buck Pete. I’m getting Steve Pemberton vibes.

Your Ricky Ponting revelation has sunk me.  I always imagined you as looking like Alan Partridge.

A girl I used to go out with in the mid-80s, at the time said I looked like Paul Heaton from the Housemartins.  I honestly look fuck all like him now.
